# Introduction Welcome to Blankslate Education. Blankslate Education consists of a combination of ideas to change the way education works. The main premise is to re-develop education from scratch. Blankslate Education targets the following concepts: * A core focus on soft skills first instead of hard skills first. * Leveraging technology for efficiency and cost effectiveness. * Personalization and the demolishing of the factory education model. * Removing the bubble and connecting education to the real world. * Equitable design to build stronger communities. The ideas from this book are from Stanton Wong and if you have any feedback, thoughts, or interest in collaboration, you can reach out to him at ******.
